Vitalism teaches that there is a wise, innate intelligence within each of us. From this perspective, change is not something to force or fear, it’s an opportunity to trust in our own inner intelligence, to act in alignment with it, and to avoid letting fear, guilt or urgency inform our decisions.

Vitalism calls us to remember and honor our inner wisdom—both for our own well-being, and for the good of the world.

“There are no ‘outside-in’ approaches in chiropractic. Chiropractors work with the body’s innate knowledge and understanding to allow the body to reach new states of being. The spinal column houses the most precious piece of machinery ever designed: the central nerve system. This allows us to have a plethora of physical, chemical and emotional changes take place independently or all at the same time.” — Sarah Farrant, DC

Allowing the nervous system to regulate optimally is essential because it controls every function in the body, including movement, immunity, digestion, hormones, mood, sleep and more. When the nervous system is under strain or interference, the body can’t interpret or respond to stress properly, which leads to dysfunction, symptoms, and eventually illness if the interference goes unaddressed. 

Supporting the nervous system restores accurate communication between brain and body, allowing all systems to coordinate, repair and thrive.

“There is a growing body of evidence that wellness care provided by doctors of chiropractic may reduce healthcare costs, improve health behaviors, and enhance patient perceived quality of life. [1,2,3,4] Until recently, however, little was known about how chiropractic adjustments affected the chemistry of biological processes on a cellular level.” — Christopher Kent, DC

Stress isn’t the enemy—it’s a natural part of life that our bodies are designed to adapt to. Chiropractic care helps the nervous system function at its best, improving the body’s ability to handle stress and repair itself on a cellular level. Research shows that long-term chiropractic care supports healthier DNA repair and antioxidant activity, promoting greater resilience and well-being.

“Some key highlight numbers to take away from the review:

- 21,824 submissions from people who had accessed chiropractic care—the largest of any public stakeholder engagement (26,319 submissions total—about 4,500 respondents hadn’t accessed care for their child).
- 98.4% indicated that the child was ‘much improved’ or ‘somewhat improved’ after treatment.
- 99.1% of respondents indicated that they were either ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with information provided by the chiropractor about the benefits of care.
- 95.8% stated they were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with the information provided about the risk of treatment.

This is a major testament to the effectiveness of chiropractic—over 20,000 real people with real positive results!” —Amanda Gaffey-Smyth

“In the context of manageability with chiropractic care, practice members often see improvements in their health while under chiropractic care, and through the chiropractic philosophical concepts of innate intelligence and salutogenesis, they begin to have a deeper understanding of their own bodies and true health. This enhances the practice members’ belief that they can manage their own health. This can empower them to make healthy choices like choosing to be under lifetime maintenance chiropractic care and other lifestyle modifications to enhance their well-being.” — Jen Santos, DC, DACCP

Wellness-focused chiropractic care helps people understand and trust their body’s ability to heal and stay well. By focusing on what creates health—not just what prevents illness—chiropractic empowers individuals to take an active role in their own long-term well-being.

“Chiropractors guide us to look at the most natural ways of living with an underlying respect for natural design and function. Some chiropractors may lead us to look deeper into our realm of thinking, how we parent, how we develop and sustain our relationships, and how we interact in society. Chiropractors are attentive to how we express ourselves as living, loving human beings, as these, too, are directly interrelated with our nerve system function.” — Jeanne Ohm, DC

“With this approach, the goal is to improve neurological function from the inside out, instead of temporarily manipulating symptoms from the outside in.

Chiropractic specifically seeks to reduce neurological interference from vertebral subluxation, a phenomenon commonly seen in children where abnormal motion of the spine is associated with impaired neurological function. While not a treatment for ADHD, correction of vertebral subluxation through chiropractic adjustments has been shown to result in improved nervous system function and improvement in ADHD symptoms.” — Steven Prentice, DC, CACCP

ADHD can be a sign that a child’s nervous system is struggling, and chiropractic care and targeted neurointegrative exercises can help improve neurological function from the inside out. This safe, holistic approach supports better focus, behavior, and overall nervous system health—without relying on medications.

“Conventional medicine is centered around the allopathic model of care. Recall that the root path indicates feeling (in words like empathy) or illness (seen in pathogen, among others). Allopathy responds to symptoms and illness with a drug or treatment. Via Merriam-Webster: ‘A system of medical practice that aims to combat disease by use of remedies (as drugs or surgery) producing effects different from or incompatible with those produced by the disease being treated.’

The science and practice of allopathy continues to be an irreplaceable facet of medicine. The development of treatments and general prevention for infectious diseases has saved countless lives and changed the landscape of public health dramatically over the past century.

However, the rise of chronic metabolic and stress-affected disorders is not as easily treated by drugs or procedures, as evidenced by the rise of these ailments. In response, individuals are increasingly seeking out alternative options.

The core of chiropractic care is the promotion of wellness. When an individual visits a chiropractor, she is likely to receive a holistic wellness strategy instead of a singular symptomatic treatment. Even the removal of vertebral subluxations seeks to free the body to be well before illness has a chance to settle in the body. This kind of whole-person care is consistent with salutogenesis, promoting health as a preemptive strategy.” – Eric L. Zielinski, DC

Chiropractic care doesn’t just treat symptoms—it empowers the body to function at its full potential, promoting wellness and preventing illness before it starts.
